Power-to-Gas Techno-Economic Analysis and Optimization

Overview

In this webinar, we will show how to architect a techno-economic analysis and optimization framework in MATLAB. We will use a power-to-gas example, where a microgrid with renewable energy and energy storage will be optimized in terms of power rating and energy rating, such that we can power an electrolyzer to produce green hydrogen at the lowest cost and maximum rate-of-return over a 20-year period. 

Highlights

You will learn how to architect a techno-economic optimization in MATLAB and apply it to the optimization of a microgrid with energy storage, renewable energy, and green hydrogen production.
